need a touchup pen, anyone used paintscratch.com before?

hey, anyone have experience with paintscratch.com for their touchup pens? i needed one badly, because i have a spot where u can see the bare metal. lol it happened like 3 years ago, but i had no time to deal with it. I am planning on dealing my car, so i think its a good time to fix up the paint before doing so.

Heres the link to their page

try your local acura dealer, purchased one recently for $7.50, the guy will ask your paint number which is located right by the door

paintscratch.com and towerpaint.com are only good for buying custom color spray cans. buying pens other places is probably cheaper?

just get it from the dealer. It will match exactly instead of these little rinky dink ones you find @ auto parts.

actually i bought the "good pen" that everyone raved about from the acura dealer before, the ones that has paint on one end and clear on the other, applied by pressing the felt tip down and paint would come down, and it wasn't as good as the paint pen i bought at pepboys, the color wasn't matched as well, and it didn't apply smoothly like the paint pen did...

if you're wondering the acura one i bought was bought from an acura dealership i think in canada, it was white, said acura on it and double sided (paint/clear)

the one i bought from pepboys and i liked was the short little bottles/pen, that has like a pen tip, but if you unscrew it it has a brush on the inside that makes it a lot easier and more even to fill in the rock chips i had in my hood....

yea the oem acura paint pens are better than the oem acura bottles. i never tried the pepboys one but i like that "pen tip" idea better than the felt tip for the really thin scratches.

You can get the OEM pens on ebay fairly cheap.
